Managing remote servers through the Video Session Viewer
86
Configuring keyboard pass-through
Keyboard pass-through eliminates the need for most macros by capturing the keystrokes before the local
operating system and passing them through to the target server.
To configure keyboard pass-through select
Tools>Session Options>General,
and select
Pass-through all
keystrokes in regular window mode.
Selecting function buttons for the Video Session
Toolbar
You can select up to 10 function buttons that appear on the toolbar display in the Toolbar Session
Options dialog box. You can also select the Toolbar Hide Delay time.
Aligning the cursors
If the cursors no longer respond properly, you can align them to reestablish proper tracking. Alignment
causes the local cursor to align with the cursor on the remote server.
CAUTION:
If the server does not support the ability to disconnect and reconnect the cursors,
then the cursor becomes disabled and the server must be rebooted.
To align the cursor for most operating systems, click
Align Local Cursor
in the menu bar.
Mouse tuning
To have the mouse pointers synchronized, you must change the mouse settings on the target server you
will be controlling remotely.
NOTE:
HP recommends that all Windows® systems attached to the console switch use the
default Windows® mouse driver.
Windows operating systems
To synchronize the mouse pointers for Windows® operating systems (using the default drivers):
1.
From the desktop, select
Start>Settings>Control Panel,
and double-click the Mouse icon.
